Can I ask whereabouts you were serving at the time?

What I understand, in the older boats, the outside water had an effect on the interior temperature. Most of the time, the temperature tended toward cool, even in the tropics. If submerged for a while, humidity got high. So the interior was cool, with humid, stale air.

Kings Bay, GA out to Bermuda or so, and then down to Andros Island in the Bahamas . It wasn't humid inside. I never noticed a funny smell to the air or anything like that, although I've read that there is supposed to be a noticeable odor. When they popped the hatch after four weeks or so that fresh sea air sure smelled good anyway.

Sounds more like a charter cruise than a military op

Except that it was all underwater.

I left out the brief stop in Ft. Lauderdale where I bought some parachute pants and went to The Pink Pussycat.
